    The court dismissed an appeal from a lower court's order denying a writ of habeas corpus and remanding a petitioner back to state prison custody. The petitioner was imprisoned under the judgment of a state court. The court found the petitioner's contentions entirely without merit. However, the court dismissed the appeal because the petitioner failed to obtain the required certificate of probable cause under 28 U.S.C. § 2253.

    2d 871

    SYKES,
    v.
    PEPPERSACK, WARDEN.
    No. 6803.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Argued May 31, 1954.
    Decided June 2, 1954.

    Venable Vermont, Spartanburg, S.C., for appellant.


    H. Clifton Owens, Asst. Atty. Gen., of Maryland (Edward D. E. Rollins,
    Atty. Gen., of Maryland, on brief), for appellee.
    Before PARKER, Chief Judge, and SOPER and DOBIE, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM.

    This is an appeal from an order discharging a writ of habeas corpus and


    remanding petitioner to the custody of the warden of a penitentiary where he is
    imprisoned under the judgment and sentence of a state court. The contentions of
    appellant are entirely without merit, and, if the appeal were properly before us,
    the order appealed from would be affirmed. The appellant has failed to obtain,
    however, the certificate of probable cause required by 28 U.S.C. 2253. The
    appeal will accordingly be dismissed.

    Appeal dismissed.
